Brazilians who wish to travel to the US will find the process a lot easier now that they no longer have to go through a consular official.
According to the US embassy in Brazil, Brazilians who wish to renew a visa are no longer required to have an interview with an official, effective April 2 (07).
Those who require a renewal on a valid visa or one that has not expired for more than a year are will still have to make an interview at the embassy to deliver their passport and documents as well as to get fingerprinted.
The new procedure will speed up waiting times for would-be tourists from all four US consulates in Brazil: Brasília, Recife, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.
